Tweet Take 5 : Dipper

An extended edition of Tweet of the Day featuring the dipper, with Samuel West, Sir David Attenborough and Michael Morpurgo.

Dippers are small dumpy birds which seemingly captivate all who see them. They live in fast flowing streams or rivers in the north and west of Britain, where their ability to dive under water looking for food makes them remarkable for songbirds. In this extended version of Tweet of the Day, we hear from three people for whom the dipper is a special bird; actor Samuel West, Sir David Attenborough and author, poet and playwright Michael Morpurgo.
